The submental island flap (SIF) is as an alternative to free flaps in head and neck reconstruction. 10 patients underwent submental flaps. All ten patients suffered failure of SIF as the definitive reconstructive procedure. Despite comparing favorably to free tissue transfer in published reports, our SIF had high failure rate.
Keywords: head and neck reconstruction; submental flaps.
